Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011Hey lynx, you are firming Barts right?(Original post by _lynx_)
I knew that, but it never occurred to me that there was something fishy about that statement.
haha, cheers Beska.
or are you waiting on Kings?

Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011Well there's no universally "right" choice, but I'm sure you'll make the right choice for yourself(Original post by a moist feeling)
You just want me at Barts with you
but in all seriousness I will be firming Barts at some point. I am just having great difficulty withdrawing from King's and Newcastle because it just feels wrong. But I know in my heart of hearts, this September I will be a BATLSMD student

Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011I was going to firm Barts, but my friends and family are telling me to wait for King's. I think that's what I shall do.(Original post by a moist feeling)

Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011All my family and friends are telling me to go to the King's interview but I think it will make my decision really difficult if I get an offer. To decide between King's, Barts and Newcastle is very very difficult!(Original post by _lynx_)

You can apply for accommodation without firming them first: https://accommodation.ncl.ac.uk/apply/ -
Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011
Just got an offer!

I'm literally speechless, I thought the interview went terribly to be quite honest. Just goes to prove that your own impressions of how you've done mean absolutely nothing.
Dammit, now I have decisions to make. >.<
Good luck to everyone who's yet to hear back! -
Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011Flip a coin, and then see your reaction with the winner. If you think "oh well" ... then you don't really want to go there. If you think "yes! I was hoping this one would win!" then it answers your own question!(Original post by Fusilero)
Newcastle or St Andrews is my current question. I hadn't expected one offer, let alone two so the choice is crippling me with indecision. Maybe I should just flip a coin.
Worked for me! -

Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011Nerr! Haha.(Original post by Stirlo)
Thinking of applying for the same
Although I've got a conditional, so may not get the en-suite
. I really like the look of castle court and victoria hall though
Benefit of a gap year!
Castle Court is absolutely amazing, love it! -
Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011
I heard on FaceyB that they're giving out offers.
I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a tad anxious.
But I'm going on the principle of ignorance is bliss. If I get an offer, I'm expecting a letter to be sent home home. If I don't get a letter, I'm guessing I got a rejection.
Roll on April. (hopefully not too quickly as I've got diss work to do before then) -
Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011Thanks! It's for the 5 year. I wasn't confident about my application in October so only applied for one Graduate Entry programme to maximise my chances of getting an interview (seriously considered not even applying to Warwick and going for Barts 5 yr instead). Having received 4 interviews, and an unconditional on my only response so far, perhaps I undersold myself.....(Original post by bshuker)
Congrats, is that for 4 year or 5 year?
Ah well, bring on the Warwick interview!

Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011I'm A101 too, bu also applied for the undergrad.(Original post by bshuker)
A101 here. I wouldn't be surprised if they do us last! At this rate though that could be quite soon I hope.
If all goes to plan, I'll get a double rejection
